Fantaazma (also known as Fantasma or Fantasma Goria) is a multi-lingual intermedia performance artist, songwriter, and musician from Hamburg, Germany. Fantaazma's art combines elements of opera, rap, and soul/R&B, electronica, funk, and hip-hop, alongside interpretive dance, Jungian archetypal performance, Virtual Reality (VR) technology, and modern dramaturgical concepts influenced by Gesamtkunstwerk, Promenade Immersive Theater, and other ideas propagated by Fluxus. Signed to Bootzilla Records[1][2], Fantaazma currently collaborates through the label with other artists such as Bootsy Collins, Dave Stewart, Buckethead, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Victor Wooten, Branford Marsalis, and Marcus Miller.
Fantaazma maintains a high level of anonymity similar to the The Residents, whose work was also influenced by Fluxus. Fantaazma appears exclusively in characteristic wigs, heterochromia, and other costuming, each combination representing a specific archetypal persona in her performances. Fantaazma regards these personas as an integral part of a broader Gesamtkunstwerk aesthetic, aiming to shift attention from the artist's identity to a symbolic, experiential narrative across interrelated works.
Musical Career
[edit]Fantaazma's debut album, Fantasma Goria,[3] was released on June 10, 2017, under the label, Fantaazmic Productions. Her subsequent project, Fantaazma's Remix Safari, released on April 20th, 2018, featured remixes by electronica and funk producers such as Hans Nieswandt and JJ Whitefield.
In 2019, Fantaazma collaborated with German rapper Samy Deluxe on his SaMTV Unplugged[4] project. Additionally, she contributed to Samy Deluxe's 2019 album Hochkultur, where her vocal arrangements can be heard on multiple songs alongside a lengthy performance on the song "Suppengabel."
In 2022 Fantaazma was signed to the United States based recording label, Bootzilla Records. This was accompanied by a string of collaborations with Bootsy Collins and other American based artists (see the Collaborations section below). The first of such collaborations were "Hip Hop Lollipop,"[5] "Rocketship,"[6] and "Funk Not Fight",[7][8][9][10][11] and the 2025 release of Album of the Year #1 Funkateer[12][13][14][15][16][17].
